Property Reviews

Top QualityA guest from Riverside, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 45 days in January, 2015 Everything was in good condition. The home was well laid out and very comfortable to stay in. Close to the beach and walking trails.

Christmas @ Sea WatchA guest from El Cerrito, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in December, 2014 We loved our week at Sea Watch over Christmas. House was great! Our dogs loved the yard and deck. The hotub was beautiful, especially at night. Our son loved the wifi and TV. He brought his PS4 so he was in heaven. Kitchen was well appointed, except we needed a larger wisk and a rubber spatula. lol We will be back!

Wonderful & relaxingDulce & Ross M. from Sebastopol, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2014 I hold dear to those memories I make at Sea Ranch. It is an unusually peaceful beautiful place. If this is what you like then this is the place to go. This house is wonderful.

Easy to get to paradiseA guest from Walnut Creek, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2014 If you haven't stayed in Sea Ranch, try it. We were at Sea Watch house this time, up to date, well located, nicely furnished. Three days of peace, quiet, and beauty. Beach Rentals, who set up the stay for us, were wonderfully efficient.

Beautiful sunny home, great for dogs, not so good for toddlersA guest from Suisun City, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2014 This home is nicely laid out with windows and beautiful views all around. Lovely blue water and lots of sun. I loved the privacy of it being tucked into a corner on a court. The enclosed deck & yard are wonderful for keeping your dog happy. The kitchen had lots of supplies although I never did find the crock pot that was listed in the description. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfy & the shower was gorgeous. Didn't try the bath but it looked nice with jets & a hand held shower head.As far as the negative, the tv is housed inside a cabinet with doors that do not open to the side; you can only see the tv if you sit directly in front of it as the doors function like blinders on a horse. The only source of heat is the gas fireplace & although it does a great job, you cannot turn it off according to the signs posted or the pilot light will go out. With a 15 month old we were very nervous about her touching the outside of the fireplace and getting burned. Between the fireplace, the slippery bamboo flooring, & the glass coffee table, we did not have a relaxing vacation at all - we spent it chasing after our toddler trying to prevent her from hurting herself. She cut her lip & chin on the coffee table, hit her head on the dining table because it was just high enough so it looked like she could walk under it but it was level with her head, & slipped falling face first on the hardwood floor several times. This is no fault of the owners' - it is a beautiful home, I just wanted to give a heads up to other parents. Outside the hot tub is recessed down a bunch of stairs with concrete at the bottom - also very scary for us.The general location of the home was nice, you can walk across the street to the chapel or down to the playground or shell beach. The path to the beach is actually right behind the house if you venture through the trees there. We look forward to coming back when baby is older & less accident prone! ;)

August 2014 Sea Ranch ExperienceJudith M. from Irvine, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in August, 2014 We had a lovely time and "Sea Watch" home was very nice. It waso peacful and relaxing - love that it was a close walk to the beach. Had a wonderful time! Judith Mullen & family.

Lovely homeCheryl S. from Southlake, TX recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in August, 2014 Clean, quiet, comfortable, over all great rental & the serenity of Sea Ranch is awesome! Hot tub was great too!

Expectations high. And Sea watch more than lived up to themMichelle C. from Martinez, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2014 The kitchen was so well stocked we didn't need anything we brought with us. The beds are very comfortable. Our two dachshunds enjoyed the deck & fenced yard and their welcome pack with pretty towels,sheet for couch, leash & treat were a Four Seasons type touch. The only thing missing was a flat surface in the bedrooms to toss stuff & a shelf in the small bathroom would be great or small tables. The grill was easy to use & we made use all 3 nites. The large bathroom had more space & storage than my first apartment, We loved our 3 nites in this beautiful home & look forward to returning in the spring. We are two friends celebrating a major birthday &' wanted quiet place.

Sea WatchChris B. from Cloverdale, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in July, 2014 We had a wonderful time at Sea Watch. If there is something to suggest, I would replace the toilet seat in the guest bath. It is faded and stained looking from the sun coming in through the skylight. Overall, it is a lovely home!

Fantastic Home, Great VacationSusan B. from Rancho Murieta, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in July, 2014 The home is exquisitely furnished and appointed. Truly a Zen-like environment that promotes total relaxation. We have stayed in many Sea Ranch homes over the years-Sea Watch is one of the best! We especially appreciated the fenced yard for dogs.

The Rich PartyPriscilla R. from Danville, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2014 Excellent! This house had all the amenities, a good location, nice neighbors, and a quiet night's sleep.

Perfect GetawayScott K. from Elk Grove, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in June, 2014 It was the escape we needed. The ladies in the rental office were friendly & professional. Seeing that rental had preference for one dog only, called and they arranged for our two small dogs (cheweenies) to stay, providing them treats and own towels to be used after exploring the nearby beaches. Blue water view off deck &, more importantly, from hot tub. Were having so much fun wanted to extend stay but unfortunately booked right behind us. Plan to stay longer next time and already looking forward to next visit.

Amazing retreatSusan K. from Piedmont, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in May, 2014 This house had it all. Wonderful layout, fenced yard for the dog, hot tub, wonderful meadow and ocean views. We can't wait to come back.

Nice place!Brad W. from Richmond, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in May, 2014 Very nice house with ocean views and good hot tub. Gas stove a big plus, and dog friendly. Great amenities: gas stove, nice artwork, jacuzzi tub, we will be back!

Sea Watch HouseCaryn H. from Alameda, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in April, 2014 Sea Watch is a great house. The photos truly don't do it justice. The master bath alone is amazing (though the deep, spa tub is a little challenging for bathing a squirmy toddler--but is great for bigger kids and adults). The household lighting is incredibly well thought out and there are dimmers for nearly all switches. OUtside, there's a very large, multi-level deck with the hot tub and gas grill: only downside is there's only one lounge chair. One thing to note if you have babies/toddlers is that the sole source of heating is a gas fireplace. It works well to heat the house but is a tremendous burn hazard (bring your own gates!)

Sea WatchJoyce C. from Fairfax, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in January, 2014 We loved that the kitchen had new appliances and was well stocked, and the view from the master bedroom was spectacular. We kept the levelors up day and night. We would definitely recommend that place to our friends.

Great Stay at Sea RanchA guest from 95404, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in November, 2013 My husband and I stayed at SeaWatch over the Thanksgiving holiday, and must say everything was perfect. Nicest house, location, and rental agency we have used so far, and we have stayed a few times at Sea Ranch. The house is close to many beaches and other attractions. It is also absolutely perfect for a dog! If you are entertaining, it is also ideal, as the house layout is ideal, as well as the great big fenced in deck. Hot tub was a plus. Overall great house, great everything, we will try to score this house on our next trip next year and beyond.

A Perfect Vacation SpotMichael W. from Folsom, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in October, 2013 The pictures of this home don't do it justice. We were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable, clean and beautiful the home was. The kitchen is well stocked. We loved making meals and just relaxing. Our 5 year old loved hanging out on the deck with the binoculars. We look forward to staying at Sea Watch next year.

Beautiful Sea WatchDimple L. from Davis, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2013 Updated home with fully functioning kitchen, yard for our dog to do his business, closed deck for the kids to play in, nice hot tub. Great walk to the playground and Shells beach.

Once we found the front door (in the back) everything was fineeric k. from Chicago, IL recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in June, 2013 A curiously arranged house with an inaccessible interior "concept" balcony and a mysterious front door located on the back of the house, the building is in good condition with a newer interior including a telescope (nice detail) and a small hot tub.

Great HouseA guest from West Sacramento, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in May, 2013 Overall great house and experience. Beautiful location and setting. Nice layout and spacious rooms. Kitchen could use a few more bowls and basic serving platters, etc. Spa controls a little confusing. Not sure is A/C was included or working. Got a little warm in the afternoons!

Sea Watch a Winner!A guest from Orinda, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in April, 2013 You probably won't find a more lovely home to rent than this one. The lighting and bathroom were Sunset Magazine-worthy. The deck has a distant ocean view and privacy, and the enclosed grass area is a perfect one for dogs.The home is also near to a beach that is perfect for watching harbor seals, especially during their birthing period in April and May.

Loved Sea Ranch, Loved Sea Watch....Alison E. from San Francisco, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in March, 2013 A great experience for our first time at Sea Ranch. We'll definitely be back!

Sea Watch vacationAnne B. from Reno, NV recommends this property.
Stayed for 30 days in February, 2013 We were there twice now, 30 days for last year and this year. We really enjoy the house, Sea Ranch etc. and gorgeous weather.

Lovely Holiday Retreat!Sharon V. from Walnut Creek, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in December, 2012 This was our second Holiday spent at Sea Watch and it was just as we remembered... wonderful!This visit we saw so many animals, deer, fox, jack rabbits, quail - to name a few. We'll be back next year to continue our tradition.

Sea WatchA guest from Scottsdale, AZ recommends this property.
Stayed for 30 days in October, 2012 It was wonderful. We loved the house and location. Our only suggestions are that the living area be made more reader friendly with lamps and more comfortable seating (for evenings and rainy days) as well a a space somewhere for a computer. However, overall, it is very nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Sea WatchJudy and Jim H. from Reno, NV recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in September, 2012 We love sea ranch and definitely will be back next year. Sea Watch is a beautiful home. The only issue we had was pet stains on some of the carpets that needed cleaned. Other than that, the place is great.

A dog's favorite hangout...A guest from San Francisco, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2012 Beach Rentals does it right - all the best touches, including a welcome note (and treat) for our dog Buddy.

No need to look for any other properties. This is it.Deborah I. from Davis, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in August, 2012 It was a dream. The property was beautiful and spotless. It was luxurious but did not feel out of place amongst the wildlife and trees. The owners have put thought into this home, and it is a comfortable oasis in which to escape the mundanities of life and live a dream for a few days. We will definitely be returning.

lovely little houseA guest from Orangevale, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2012 Overall, the house is lovely. It does sit back quite a distant from the ocean (blue off in the distance)and the living room furniture is not the most comfortable. Our one complaint was that we weren't informed of the broken TV and we had been looking forward to nighttime DVD movie watching.

We loved the houseArlene N. from Berkeley, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2012 The house is well designed and constructed. Great lighting and good separation of bedrooms. Comfortable and esthetically pleasing. We will return!

Great House For Two CouplesJoseph F. from San Rafael, California recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in May, 2012 This house very wonderful. The lighting is something is fantastic. The location very near Shell Beach is also great. Overall we had a great one week stay. And best of all the house accommodates pets, so we were able to bring our two cockatiels with us. We will definitely try to rent this house again.

We had a wonderful month.Anne B. from Reno, NV recommends this property.
Stayed for 32 days in February, 2012 The house was beautiful, the decor, the colors, the furniture was great. We had wonderful weather for three weeks, the last week was raining but we expected that. We really like Sea Ranch, and we would love to stay in Sea Watch again. Willow,our Golden Retriever, loves it also!

BEGAN NEW FAMILY HOLIDAY TRADITIONSharon V. from Walnut Creek, California recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in December, 2011 Our family had a wonderful holiday at Sea Watch. This was our first time at Sea Ranch and it was delightful. House is just beautiful and my daughter decided this will be our "Holiday Home" for years to come. Thank you...

Sea Ranch Rental Review - AyerStephanie A. from Briones, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in November, 2011 It was a great experience. I would rent this home again. The only criticism would be that there was not any trash bags and once we used the papertowels on the holder there were not any replacements. Other than that it was great. Thank you.

Wonderful wonderfulDulce & Ross M. from San Rafael, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in October, 2011 If you want to relax and vist the wild ocean , this is the place for you. It is quiet and peaceful. This home is lovely.

Restful RespiteMary M. from Sebastopol, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2011 This was my first stay at Sea Ranch and I will come again and plan to stay at Sea Watch again! Even though it rained most of the time it was a quiet restful place (I needed that). Good view, great walks, quiet location, and wonderful house.

Just a Couple of ThoughtsEllen S. from Pinole, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 8 days in August, 2011 We've been renting at the sea ranch for over 20 years, and this was one of the very nicest homes we've ever rented!! The deck was fantastic, as was the hot tub. The home was clean, beautiful, comfortable, and a wonderful place to just "be." We did have a couple of thoughts: it would be great to have a dresser or a chest in the master bedroom, as there was no place to put duffel/suitcase or other luggage. a suitcase rack would have helped, but it's always nice on a long stay (ours was 8 days) to be able to put clothes into a chest of drawers. the closet was fabulous though!! the living room was great also, but for people who like to hang out on the floor (doing exercises or watching tv) the coffee table was too large to allow much room for that. of course, this is just how we felt, and i'm sure others have different perspectives. overall it was a wonderful, relaxing, gorgeous and comfortable home, and we feel lucky to have found it!! the location, close to walk on beach, shell beach and tide pool beach made it even more spectacular. thank you sea watch!!

Pure zen at Sea WatchA guest from San Jose, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in August, 2011 Great place to stay, location and interior were so very comfortable and relaxing. Was hard to leave as it was so peaceful!

Jorge's reviewJorge M. from San jose, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in June, 2011 In spite that the weekend we choose was rainy our stay at the sea watch was marvelous. The condition of the property was clean and the location excelent for those that don't mind a short walking to the ocean. The Property manager was very helpful. The only misshap was that the wifi conection did not work. I will definetely stay again at the sea watch

Sea Watch ReviewDon C. from Cotati, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 14 days in January, 2011 Main cleanliness concern we had was a few small splotches of mold on floor of the shower in main bathroom. Also, one of the smoke detectors decided to start "chirping" in the middle of the night; called it in and John came by the next day to change the battery. Near the end of our stay, the hot tub stopped heating, so we were unable to use it for the last 2 or 3 days of our stay. Also called that in, but it didn't get back up to temperature in time.

A guest from Roseville, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 8 days in December, 2010 We had a very nice stay. Normally, we stay closer to the ocean. But, this was a lovely home and would definitely consider staying here again.

The classiest furnishings, best appliances, and most wonderful lighting of any home we've rented over the past 42 years!!!Erica B G. from Berkeley, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in November, 2010 We hope to stay at Sea Watch whenever we come, and we're trying to replicate the Master Bathroom shower enclosure at our house in Berkeley!

Garen C. from Oakland, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2010 Nice house. Beautiful bathroom, and nice details, such as the great deck. The house views of the ocean are a bit less ideal than some other Sea Ranch houses we have stayed in, but overall this was a very peaceful and comfortable house to spend a long weekend in.

Clean, beautiful, and tastefully furnished 2 bedroomNora M. from Putnam Valley, NY recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in August, 2010 We have stayed in many houses at Sea Ranch, but this was the most tastefully designed and furnished house by far.

The Sea Watch home is a nice home for a couple or two couples. It is a very short walk to the beach and trails.Edward V. from Sacramento, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in June, 2010 Although there are two bathrooms, they are both located in the hall ways. It would have been better if the large master bedroom was connected to one of them. Also could use a TV in the master bedroom, preferably a flat screen mounted to the ceiling above the large picture windows.

Amazing place to stay!Amy M. from Austin, TX recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in May, 2010 We hope to make our trip to Sea Ranch a tradition. We have already shared with all of our friends and family what an amazing retreat the Sea Watch house was for us. The house is close to all of the beautiful trails and coast line, and instantly makes you feel welcome and relaxed upon arrival. We were sad to go but excited to have found such a special place.

Beautiful home with designer-made interiorsA guest from Sunnyvale, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in February, 2010 Sea Ranch is a community with design guidelines such that all homes must blend in the nature - i.e. have gray unpainted wood on the outside. However, on the inside, Sea Watch looked nothing else short of luxurious! The interiors were as if pulled out of Architectural Digest: very stylish, highly spacious, with utmost class.The hot tub was sized for about 6 adults and offered privacy, as well as a fantastic place to admire the thousands of stars - there is no light pollution at Sea Ranch.Minor quibbles:1. The Internet didn't work, not even if you hooked directly into the cable modem.2. How is one to operate the gas fireplace? Controls were not readily visible and we couldn't find a manual. Tip: there may be a thermostat for the fireplace on the wall by the door.3. The boiler can only fill the bathroom jacuzzi if you leave only hot water running (that water will quickly get colder and will end up being just warm enough). If you need to turn the hot water on or up, the hot water heater is on the deck by the door.4. Would be nice and very cheap for the property owners to leave trash bags.5. The ice dispenser in the fridge didn't work but I fixed it by pulling it out, adjusting a lever behind it, then pulling it back in.Overall, Sea Watch makes for a great stay, the check-in process was smooth, and check-out was as easy as leaving the welcome packet inside the house and locking the door. We'll certainly come back to Sea Watch!

Sea WatchLinda F. from San Francisco, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in January, 2010 This home is well-equipped, comfortable and perfect for one or two people or two couples. I had a great view of the meadow and the water, great star-gazing, and great walking along the bluff.The owners are kind enough to provide wi-fi and long distance calling -- both of which were necessary to my enjoying the weekend. I would rent this home again!

Thumbs Up!A guest from Carmichael, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in November, 2009 We had a great time and want to make staying here a Thanksgiving tradition. It would be helpful to let guests know how to get hot water though! We had cold showers for 3 days until we called you!

Sea Watch ReviewDon C. from Cotati, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 10 days in November, 2009 Beautiful house, good location. Enjoyed our stay. Two problems, though. First, the hot water heater controller had been turned down to absolute minimum prior to our arrival, so we had little/no hot water for the first two days. Second, we never were able to connect to the internet using the wireless connection. Did get hooked up finally using an ethernet cable. More detailed instructions in the house binder would be helpful.

Modern decor, clean and comfortableGinger T. from San Jose, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2009 Enjoyed our 4 night stay. Beautifully furnished, all the ammenities, and so comfortable, too! Close to the beaches, tidepools and harbor seals. A little blue water view. Close to Hwy 1, but so quiet we were surprised! All in all PERFECT.

Sea Watch was a treatNicholas O. from Hoffman Estates, IL recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2009 Beautiful house with a beautifully updated interior. Kitchen was a joy to cook in. The house is a little close to it's neighbors, but the ocean views are still beautiful.

A guest from springfield, oregon recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2009 Other than a dirty barbecue the place was clean. Figuring out all the electrical switches took some time. It took 2 days to figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace. More instructions are needed!

George and Greg at Sea WatchGreg V. from Long Beach, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in August, 2009 Liked the house very much. It has two bedrooms and lots of room for the 2 of us. Easy walking distance to shell beach. Gas fireplace. Nice decorations. Would rent it again.

Frank T. from San Francisco, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in August, 2009 We had a very nice stay at Sea Watch. The home was quite comfortable and well maintained. May I suggest that for those who opt to clean the home themselves, the owners may want to provide a canister vacuum that has an attachment for cleaning wood floors and a stronger air draw. Also, the telephone battery needs to be replaced. Thanks for having us and hope to stay with you again.Frank Tamburello

August at Sea WatchElizabeth B. from Woodland, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in August, 2009 We had a wonderful time. The location is close enough to the beach but on a quiet cul-de-sac. When we return to Sea Ranch we won't look for any other place to stay.

Relaxing getaway!Alicia D. from Berkeley, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in July, 2009 The house has all the essentials for a lovely trip -- the hottub was wonderful and the enclosed deck provides great shelter from the wind. Pluses of this house include brand-new decor, furniture, appliances, and satellite TV. The couch was great for two people to recline. We were two adults and a toddler and the place was the perfect size for us. I think 4 adults might feel a little cramped in the living room, although technically there is enough seating for them and enough space with the outside deck to have privacy -- but it's not a huge house. The master bathroom and guest bathroom were both quite spacious and everything worked great. Our only (minor) complaints were that the kitchen and living room have a wall between them -- it's open around the sides so you can hear each other but people in the living room cannot see the people in the kitchen. This could be an advantage for some people but if you want to cook while socializing with people in the living room, it's worth noting. Also, while the kitchen had a good array of pots and pans it was a little light on small utensils like an array of spatulas, a proper whisk, etc. The gas bbq is great and very convenient. We didn't use the gas fireplace but the central heating system worked perfectly. We loved the spyglass and binoculars for watching the ocean. On the cleanliness front, we made our reservation very last minute so they probably did a rush cleanup before we checked in, that said I was a little bothered by tiny little dead flies around some of the windowsills and in one of the bathrooms. There were no bugs to speak of except one intrepid spider during our stay. Also the deck stairs were quite dirty. They didn't look dirty until you sat on them and came away with dirt/soot on your pants. We ended up scrubbing them down ourselves because our toddler was all over the steps all the time. This is probably a nonissue for adults, aside from getting your bare feet dirty on the way to or from the hottub.
